John McCrae And One Last View Of The Falls

Green Island has a number of military monuments set up in the park. The newest one, which I've shown before, is of the warrior poet John McCrae, writer of In Flanders Fields. I liked how the monument was silhouetted against the snow and sky.

Moving over to the west section of the Rideau Falls, I photographed the frozen trees standing nearby, as well as the accumulation of ice on the bridge railing.

The west falls are between Green Island and the National Research Council's property; the facility in the background belongs to the NRC. I took the remaining shots from the lookout beside it.
